on her catwalk, she's got the basics na. hindi trying hard na pageant betty. she retains her identity na alta ako at ganito ang lakad namin pero, honestly, i dream for her to drive for more - that would kill her detractors.

Almost there. I am still looking for that oomph factor. I can not deny she is there to win and it is really possible for Mariel to get a crown. But for me she is good successor of Kylie. I am (personal preference) looking for some one for Ms. Universe that has a very big personality, VERY CANDID, VERY SPONTANEOUS, VERY "BUBBLY", RELATABLE, APPROACHABLE, WITTY and when interviewed during the Ms. Universe pageant will give a not so pageant patty answer. For now I can see that from Katarina. I can see Katarina answering casual questions in a very natural, sincere, bubbly and personal way. Siren is very poised and very queenly but I want to hear her more talk. In Ms. Universe pageant they will not know what is ALTA WALK or you're from a family of showbiz personalities. They will judge you on your personality. Mariel's demure, sweet, alta look or walk is suited in Ms. International. Come on let's be real. Ms. France won despite Haiti's giving the best answer. Judges said mostly they chose Ms. France because of her personality. They saw something in her.

First the good about her: lovely face (if she doesn't pull nose up), sexy round butt, her smile has improvedThe challenges of hers: Catwalk is still not really relaxed; her legs (especially the upper parts) need toning asap, need pull down her shoulders to show longer neck

In general - not without potential but not ready yet. Since she is so young she has a lot of time to get to the top-form and slay.

I have an ambition to say in 10 sentences what others needs to say in a whole book.

Well, Mariel is not there just to wait for another year for her to come and be Miss Universe Philippines. She is there now for the it crown and I don't see Mariel would settle just for a lesser crown. You people, you want her to be Miss International Philippines but are you a strong candidate with a gut and to have a talent like an opera singer? If you are up with it then compete with Mariel so you'll never eat out your words and at least you were given the chance to rub shoulder with her.
